“Cannon-class destroyer escort”
During World War II 563 Destroyer Escorts battled Nazi U-Boats on the North Atlantic protecting convoys of men and supplies. In the Pacific, they stood first in line to defend naval task forces from Kamikaze attacks. Today only one remains afloat in America. Step back in time. Return to 1945 aboard USS SLATER. See how Sailors worked, hear the sounds of a living ship, touch a piece of American history, and walk the decks where hundreds of Sailors have walked before.
We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide Tom was very informative and knowledgeable. Definitely learned a lot about the history and the inner workings of the ship. He even knew about the submarine in the museum of science and industry in Chicago which has a connection to the USS Slater. Very impressed
